Built for teams

Developers

  • The k6 API and CLI are easy-to-use, flexible and powerful.

  • Write tests in Javascript that mimic real-world scenarios.

DevOps & SREs

  • Automate your tests to ensure that your infrastructure and application remain performant.

  • Configure SLOs in your k6 script to test the health of your services.

Software Testers & QAs

  • Create tests faster with our browser recorder and converters (JMeter, Postman, Swagger).

  • Extensive documentation, awesome community and first class support.

Powerful Scripting

No XML. No DSL. Just familiar scripting with ES6 JS

1import http from 'k6/http';
2import {check, sleep} from 'k6';
3
4export default function() {
5  const data = {username: 'username', password: 'password'};
6  let res = http.post('https://myapi.com/login/', data);
7    check(res, { 'success login': (r) => r.status === 200 });
8    sleep(0.3);
9}

@k6_io I love you ❤️ this is the second time you helped us track down a nasty bug in @grafana that only happens under heavy load. Thank you for a great tool! Btw I've heard our offices are close by, we should definitely meet up sometime...

Code-driven, JavaScript load tests that fit into our existing tool chain, clean APIs, command line so easy to automate and with a flag can run the same load test from the cloud in multiple locations. Haven’t had time to blog about it but k6 came out top of multiple tools tested

Toying around with @k6_io tonight. Pretty impressed with how easy it is to set up (yay @Docker!) and to start building test scripts. Some early results: pic.twitter.com/LGCESvFMlv

Lately I have been using @k6_io for performance testing the RESTful APIs we build and I simply fell in love with it. It so simple and easy to use, i highly recommend it!!

I've been tinkering with load testing recently and discovered @loadimpact. I'm absolutely loving it! I got up and running in minutes. Its UI is intuitive, and being based on JS makes it a breeze to start writing tests. That's not even mentioning the amazing open source k6! 😍
